This no-age statement single malt is part of Glenfiddich’s Cask Collection travel retail series, and is matured in ex-Sherry casks. The nose is dry and sweet with notes of figs, honey, a hint of Christmas cake, coconut, vanilla, and a hint of butterscotch. The taste is dry with cooked fruits, clove, cardamom, and a hint of curry powder along with honey, vanilla, and coconut in the background. The finish is long and dry with a touch of sweet red wine.
